When binding magazines using saddle stitching and loop binding, the paper’s thickness can cause so-called binding displacement. This causes the content pages of the magazine to “slip” ever further forward as the number of pages increases. In order to compensate a displacement of the layout to the outside, we scale the data slightly out of proportion.

In the imposition step the pages of a multi-paged product, e.g. a magazine, are aligned onto a print sheet so that the printed and folded sheet will be shown in the right page order.

Prints are mostly printed using offset printing.

The process standard offset print (PSO) is an industrial and standardised procedure for manufacturing printing products. Since 2007 the PSO is set in the ISO-12647-2 specification. With this PSO, the quality of offset print production can be ensured, from data creation to the finished product.

For print products in small print runs we also use digital printing. For Large Formats, give aways and textiles we offer numerous special printing and finishing processes.

 At FLYERALARM we use numerous printing processes - depending on product type, material and a customer’s wish.

The sublimation printing (transfer print) is a printing process where water soluble inks are used, which are sublimed (vaporised) onto the blank material. This process is characterised by a high colour brilliance and high durability and is used in Large Formats like flags or in clothing.

During the photo-realistic digital transfer print your design is printed on a carrier foil, cut with a machine and pressed onto your custom textile. This makes colour gradients and photo prints possible.

The photo-realistic digital print process is used for textiles, if colour gradients to the exterior and if shadows are desired. 

Screen print is primarily used for flat and shaped print products that are difficult to print. The printing ink is pressed through the openings of a screen onto the print product underneath. Much of our advertisement material is printed that way, but also textiles.

For embroidery your design is embroidered with polyester thread onto your custom textiles.  Out of numerous yarns we use up to 12 colours per design.

The latex printing technology is an environmentally friendly printing process for wide format printing. The latex colours were created in accordance to ecological aspects and are excellent for indoor and outdoor use. They are water-based and odour-neutral and offer a uniquely natural, noteworthy image quality. The process is best suited for a range of printing media and is furthermore weather proof and fade-resistant depending on the material.

Laser engraving is often used for metals. The designs are burned into the material with a laser. We use it for high-quality writing tools, keyrings, vacuum flasks, USB flash drives and much more advertising material made from wood or metal.

 The batch print process refers to the space-saving arrangement of as many print orders as possible on a single printing plate. Customers with the same print run and the same paper type will be placed on the same print sheet and processed in the same print job.  This makes production significantly more resource-friendly and efficient. This way we can achieve an up to 70 % lower CO₂ emission compared to the traditional commercial printing. Of course it is also favourable for the price calculation.
